    New board, lovely new thread and I still make the same mistakes answering questions about American comedians.

    Sigh! Me too!
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Not hugely fast (am I ever?) but at least I got them all right, even the Old Testament ones at which I'm usually particularly rubbish. :smiley:
  • tessaBtessaB Shipmate
    Yay! I'm back and in the top ten (just).

    Question No. 3 was missing the correct answer. It should have been Donald Trump.

  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Bugger - got the legacy wrong. Should have thought logically.
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Rats. One, the Guessometer gave no help. One, I knew the right answer and decided to put something else. This is my dodo brain day, I guess.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    The Guessometer was working beautifully for me, regarding 'Murcan TV shows I've never watched. :)
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Oxygen! Get me some oxygen!* And on a Sunday too. At last I remembered the bit about the fiery furnace, which until now has not been the answer I thought it was.

    * at least until the speed-merchants arrive ... :mrgreen:
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Ow. Ow. Ow. Everyone is standing on my head!
    The jedi should really learn to read the questions.

    8/10. It's so long since I played, but the browser remembered my login!

    [ETA but top for now by virtue of being first on this game :D]
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    What??? Taking Eutychus's spot on top. Makes me dizzy going from the bottom yesterday. I'm enjoying being inconsistent.
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Whee! Still there!
    jj places back of hand to Wet Kipper's forehead in a motherly fashion. I hope you aren't feeling unwell, my friend. This is not how the quiz usually pans out!
  • EutychusEutychus Shipmate
    You were saying? :naughty:

    (Very much more by luck than judgement; I'm not an expert in film stars, cooking, or feng shui).
  • gizziegizzie Shipmate
    Not good today, only 7! Got the fengshui one right but it was a guess.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Who the heck apart from squillionaires has a circular driveway?
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Yay! Top of the pile for a minute or two!
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Got the ******* 'Murcan television wrong again. :rage:
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    Yup, me too. Now if they asked a few questions about UK classics such as All Gas and Gaiters ... :wink:
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Eutychus, is that your Gracie I see playing the quiz??
  • EutychusEutychus Shipmate
    Put it this way, I think I just got some serious competition...
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Dram for the Guessometer for steering me to the right answer on yet another chuffing 'Murcan TV question.
  • EutychusEutychus Shipmate
    I can't believe I got the last question wrong <hangs head in shame>
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Why in the name of all that's holy would I know anything about a comic-book character from the 1940s? And if your name was Mr. Batson and you were going to turn into a super-hero, wouldn't "Batman" be the obvious choice of moniker? :rage:

    Mind you, I suspect most of the other competitors today didn't either, as I'm in fourth place ... :mrgreen:
  • Anna_BaptistAnna_Baptist Shipmate
    Top by virtue of alphabetical order - sorry ceesharp.

    Should have called myself Aardvark to improve chances.

    When's the next opportunity to change names?
  • EutychusEutychus Shipmate
    I think a photo finish is called for.

    If you are the first person to finish in a certain time, then you will be considered ahead of any later people who complete in the same time - first come first served - it's a small help for those of us who live on the "earlier in the day" side of the pond to make up for some of the more regionally specific questions

    At least, that was my understanding when completing with a time already in existence. Maybe I'm just cursed with a later in the alphabet name

  • EutychusEutychus Shipmate
    Oof, in with 9 minutes to spare.
  • EutychusEutychus Shipmate
    Made sure to get in early this time :mrgreen:
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Just as well I did today's quiz on a desk-top - I couldn't have got anything like a decent time using the Tablet.

    Not that I'm likely to stay in second place for very long, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts. :mrgreen:
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Well, phooey. Went back and changed a right to a wrong.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    The Guessometer worked so hard in the earlier questions, it was worn out by the time I got to the last one.

    Oh well ...
  • aliehsaliehs Shipmate
    May we have a short cut again to the start please? Maybe at the top of each page even?
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    That has been the traditional practice throughout the years of the Quiz, aliehs. Whoever posts at the top of the next page adds the link to the Quiz to their post. So, if you happen to write post number 50, 100, etc, you get to be the person to remember to add the link!

    Note to self...don't do the Quiz at 5:15 AM. :grimace:
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Second place and 38 seconds - not bad for a Sunday! :smiley:
  • aliehsaliehs Shipmate
    Thank you. Sorry; didn't know
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    Well I may be slow but I got them all.

    Now if only I hadn't missed 2 days earlier in the month I might have reached the dizzy heights of the top 10.
  • jedijudyjedijudy Heaven Host
    Top of the pile for a minute or two! You never know from day to day if I'll be bottom or top. Mostly bottom or close to there!
    It's too much dizziness for an older lady! ;)
  • PriscillaPriscilla Shipmate
    I would call a young frog a tadpole, so guessed - thankfully, correctly!
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    So would I, but I guessed incorrectly. Stuff that for a lark.
  • EutychusEutychus Shipmate
    I clearly don't perform enough exorcisms. (Or perhaps I have an explanation for my lack of success).
  • aliehsaliehs Shipmate
    one of these days, I'll emerge from the bottom of the pack; when my fingers are faster, and I have better control over the Guessometer.
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    S**t! That'll teach me to attempt to do the quiz and answer a call at the same time.
  • aliehsaliehs Shipmate
    First question relates to response to a dreadful quiz. I was polite. I obviously shouldn't have been!

    That’s the sort of question where the best tactic is to ignore your own opinion and just learn the expected answer while tutting and shaking your head in confusion.
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    @aliehs, the best policy is, if in doubt, crawl to the quiz compilers. It'll make you cringe, but get you a point.
  • aliehsaliehs Shipmate
    Thank you for your sage advice.
  • TheOrganistTheOrganist Shipmate
    OMG! I'm sure it won't last but just for the moment I'm top of the pile.
  • SarasaSarasa All Saints Host
    Well i didn't cover myself in glory during March. Let's hope April is better. I should really read the right answers for the ones I keep on getting wrong :disappointed:
